Sad day for Giants fans.....Monte Irvin passes away at the age of 96 - tengbino - 01-12-2016
RIP Monte, you will be remember as one of my all time favorites
This is what his very close friend, Willie Mays had to say:
"Today is a sad, sad day for me. I lost someone I cared about and admired very, very much; someone who was like a second father to me. Monte was a kind of guy that you had to be around to get to know. But once you became friends, he always had your back. You had a friend for life. Monte Irvin was a great left fielder. Monte Irvin was a great man. I will miss him. There are no words for how I feel today. I could say so much more about Monte, but this is not so easy to do right now."
